The diminishing clout of the Malayali lobby in Delhi's corridors of power was evident in the unceremonious exit of Aligarh Muslim University Vice-Chancellor P. K. Abdul Azis.

Azis is facing a CBI probe over alleged financial irregularities at the university. Azis did not try to get an extension even though he is believed to be close to Congress leaders from Kerala including Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy.

It is learnt that no one came to his aid when he was haunted by controversies.
